"Presidents’ Day is Monday (2/15/16) and that means it’s time to celebrate your favorite U.S. presidents past and present. While the holiday now mostly means a three-day weekend with shopping and travel deals, it’s also a great time to be patriotic.

They should have holidays for two of the greatest Presidents.
Bush SR.
Reagan
I think you meant "W" right?
The greatest war president we ever had.
Oh wait I forgot our next great 2 term President:
Jeb Bush!
Bush / Palin.
Now you're talking. Think what they could do if they ran Pacifica.
Better yet, what if Obama ran Pacifica? Perhaps he could reinstitute his infamous "Cash for Clunkers Program". But instead of just cars, make it about everything. Just imagine the potential windfall here in Pathetica where practically everything is a "clunker".
Trump/Palin.
